The game is set for release on November 1st in the US and the 4th in UK and marks the 20th anniversary of the super-sonic blue hedgehog that has become such an icon in the games industry. Pritchard said ‘Sonic Generations is the ultimate title to cap off Sonic’s 20th anniversary.’ He then went on to explain that their aim for this title was for it to become the best game ‘that Sonic fans, old and new, have been waiting for.’

Although there hasn’t been any official figures released in regards to the pre-orders, as PSU explains, this news seems to suggest that the company has achieved their goal in terms of making Sonic Generations the most anticipated Sonic title in its history. There is no doubt that many gamers will wanting the game, especially so near to Christmas as Sonic represents a lot of gamers’ childhoods and would bring back fond memories.

For those that are unfamiliar with the upcoming game, it uses the classic 2D views that we are used to and combines them with 3D views so as to appeal to the old and new players of the game. Even the same sound effects are used when collecting the infamous coins, a sound I certainly could never forget. A glimpse of what you can expect from it can be found in the trailer below. In the meantime you can also checkout the demo of the game which is available on consoles now. Are you glad to see Sonic back?

As Pete Davison over at gamepro.com notes, Sega has promised that the Sonic Generations game will provide a definitive gaming experience for both old and new Sonic fans. The game enables gamers to play as the modern day Sonic, as well as the 1991 incarnation of the popular character.

Sonic Generations will feature a time-travelling storyline, as well as environments that are playable in both the classic 2D side-scrolling mode and the 3D style from the more recent Sonic titles. Each of the two incarnations of Sonic will have their trademark special moves to use.

Classic Sonic features a Spin Attack and Spin Dash, while the modern day Sonic features a Sonic Boost and Homing Attack. Sega also promises that the new game will feature a new interactive menu system. It looks like the game will also provide players with plenty of unlockable content as well.

If you haven’t already seen it, the teaser trailer can be viewed over on the gamepro.com website. Are you excited about the new Sonic Generations game?
